English as She Is Taught.

Mark Twain contributes to the April
Century, under the above title, some ex-
amples of the curious answers made by
pupils in our public schools. We quote a
few as follows:
Aborigines, a system of mountains.
Alias, good man in the Bible.
Amenable, anything that is mean.
Assiduity, state of being an acid.
Auriferous, pertaining to an orifice.
Ammonia, the food of the gods.
Capillary, little caterpillar
Corniferous, rocks in which fossil corn is
found.
Emolument, headstone to grave
Equestrian, one who asks questions
Eucharist, one who plays euchre.
Franchise, anything belonging to the
French
Idolater, a very idol person.
Ipecac, q man who likes good dinner.
1rrigate, to make fun.
Mendacious, what can be mended.
Mercenary, one who feels for another.
Parasite, kind of umbrella.
Parasite, the murder of an infant.
Publican, man who does his prayers in
public.
Tenacious, ten acres of land.
Here is one where the phrase publicans
and sinners" has got mixed up in the
child's mind with politics, and the result
is definition which takes one in sudden
and unexpected way:
Republican, sinner mentioned in the
Bible's
Also in Democratic newspapers now and
then.
Here are two where the mistake has re-
suited from sound assisted by remote fact
Plagiarist, writer of plays.
Demagogue, a vessel containing beer
and other liquids"
Here is one-well, now, how often we dc
slam right into the truth without ever sus-
pecting it:
The men employed by the gas company
go around and speculate the meter"
And herewith geological and gee.
illogical in his mind, but not ready to bis
tongue-the small scholar has innocently
gone and let out a couple of secrets which
ought never to have been divulged in any
circumstances
There are good many donkeys in
theological gardens.
Some of the best fossils are found in
theological cabinets"

the Soft Kind which you take with a spoon
while i man holds your Head and you

is called Pills and it is the Hardest of the
whole because it is so Hard to go Down but
it does not make any Difference which

Railroad Official Who Does Not Like

An official of the Union Pacific Railroad
received, on Saturday last, an order from
the Vice-President of the road to return to
headquarters the annual pass that had
been issued by the company for the use of
his wife. He sent back the pass and the
following letter with ii;

MICROSCOPIC Perhaps the
most wonderful thing that has been dis
covered of late is the new glass which has
just been made in Sweden, differing from
ordinary glass in its extraordinary refrae-
tive power. Our common glass contains
only six substances, while this Swedish
glass consists of fourteen, the most i'm
portant elements being phosphorus and
boron, which are not found in any other
glass. The revolution which this new re-
tractor is destined to make is almost incon-
ceivable if it is true, as is positively
alleged, that, while the highest power of an
old-fashioned microscopic lens reyeals only
the one hundred thousandth part of an
inch, this new glass will enable US to dis
tinguish one two hundred and four million
seven hundred thonsandth part of an inch.

figures; and who can tell what words

Nor fret because the work we do
Is humble for it is Gods plan;
Not what is great but what is true

May blossom in desert place

Its humble sphere will ever grace

Upon the hilltops sunny slope,

Begirt by gloomy fears, to grope.

A BEAN PARTY.
g The young people in Rodney are the
cleverest folks for getting up entertain
ments y remarked cousin Sarah. pushing
her spectacles Gp on her forehead. Cousin
Sarah had been at home-she lived with
the Cadys-only few days from Rodney
where she had visited several relations.
What do they do ? and how do they do
it?" asked Carrie Cady. 81 haven't been
to a party in the last three years that was
anything but stupid and tiresome."
Well, said cousin Sarah, the first
night was at Uncle Lemuel's his daugh-
tiers gave bean party"
g A whatln exclaimed Rose, throwing
down magazine and looking interested.
Do tell US about it as quickly as you can,
cousin Sarah, for l must get supper in a
few minutes"
Cousin Sarah settled herself comfortably
in the low rocker before she began her de-
scription. Every one who came to the
party brought some article the girls made
theirs, and the boys bought theirs; so
there was good variety. Lemuel's eldest
daughter, May, wrapped them in paper,
and put some in boxes, making them look
as unlike each other as possible May
sister Katie handed each one a small cam
brio bag containing forty beans, and when
all had arrived the parcels were brought in
and young man sold them at auction.
The beans were used for money, and no
bid higher than forty was allowed
II must have been very funny said
Rose
Yes, it was,n assented Cousin Sarah.
Particularly when some niee-looking par
eel was found to contain doll or piece OF
soap, or even popcorn. bid twenty-seven
beans on a buadle that looked as if it were
roll of linen. Several bid against me, but
| came off victorious"
what was it ?n asked Rose and Carrie
in one breath.
"Cats tails tied together with blue rib
bon p
What did the others get2" inquired
Carrie.
Uncle Lemuel found black doll in a
candy-box, May bought hair-receiver for
thirty-seven beans, and Kate box of shoe
backing and brush for fifteen. There
was Noah's ark, some books, knitting
bag, blotters, cologne-oh, can't think OF
them all now"
4" 1 should think, said Rose, THAT the
whole effect would depend on the person
who acted as auctioneer"
YES, that's so, replied Cousin Sarah,
and he must make a great deal of the
humorous ideas that come up. At Uncle
Lemuels the auctioneer had an assistant
who took the beans and opened the parcels,
so all the company could see them. He
was quite witty, and between the two there
was plenty of fun raised"
What else did you have while you were
there?n asked Carrie.
In less than week the Morrisons had
a surprise phantom party
"Oh, won't you wait until after supper ~
cried Rose, earnestly ~ want to hear,
too, and l must get supper now. Here is
